Chapter 2

Booth sped along the highway deep in thought. Why wouldn't Bones come with me? I mean could this house really scare her? Who knew that Bones could be scared, well if she was telling the truth that is.

"Agent Booth?" Zack asked nervously.

"Ya Zack?" Booth asked.

"I was wondering if you knew why Dr. Brennen said that she was scared of this house. I mean the probability of someone who is scared of a house is about 1/600 unless they had a very frightening experience there which I do not think that Dr. Brennen would ever let her emotions get the best of her when it comes to a case. After all she was the one who told me to just put your heart in a box if something gets personal. Maybe she just thought that-" Zack was rambling on.

"Zack!" Booth interrupted because he had enough of his crazy ramblings. "I have no clue what is going on with her Zack. And I think that is the most I have ever heard you say to me with something that does not have to do with a case." Booth said jokingly as they pulled up to the house that was surrounded by police.

-------------------------------------------

"BONES!" Booth shouted as they arrived back at the lab with the body and any other object that might have looked like it could have had something to do with the murder including the swing.

"I'm coming!" Bones shouted back as she put her hair into a ponytail and walked onto the platform.

"Here is the body Dr. Brennen." Zack stated even though she could see for herself that the body was here.

"Yes, thank you Zack. And thank you for going to the house for me" Bren thanked Zack.

"Your welcome. It was exciting to be able to be in the field work part of this investigation all by my self" Zack responded excitedly.

"Ok well I hate to break up this party, but what can you tell me about the body Bones?" Booth asked anxious to get back to working with Bones. It bugged him out working with Zack when Bones wasn't anywhere close.

"Well I don't know anything about a party. Female, age approximately 15 to 17, since the body is not fully decomposed I can tell that she had been raped a couple of times, she was bound too" Bren had to take a deep breath at this point. its happening again she thought. I can't go through this again, its all to real. "Cause of death appears to be multiple stab wounds to the chest. That is all I can tell you until the bones are cleaned. Zack I need you to take these bones and get them cleaned and Booth you should be looking for a girl around 15 to 17."

"Yes Dr. Brennen." Zack said before scurrying of to clean the bones.

"Yes Dr. Brennen" Booth said mimicking Zack. "When will that kid ever get a backbone? Did you know that he actually talked to me on the way up, it was torture!" Booth exclaimed.

"Zack is just doing his job Booth. And you should give him a little credit Booth, you never know when you might need him."

"Ok whatever Bones. Where is Hodgins? I need to give him some stuff to examine." Booth said.

"Right here" Hodgins responded. "What do you have that needs to be looked at?"

"Oh ok. Well there was the surrounding area along with this broken swing that we found that looked like it had blood on it."

Bren's head shot up when he said swing. "A swing?!" Bren said alarmed.

"Ya Bones, you know what little kids like to play on? They are usually located at parks and playgrounds." Booth said as he looked at Bren quizzically.

"I know what a swing is Booth, I was a kid once you know. I just do not see how the swing has anything to do with the case, that's all." Bren said slightly annoyed at Booth.

"Well it was at the crime seen and it has blood on it, and the fact that it was broken makes me seem as if it could have something to do with the murder." Booth stated.

"Ok well um, why don't I just take it Booth?" Hodgins said while wondering what Bren was getting so worked up about.

"NO! I mean, can I test it for blood Hodgins? I have been meaning to try something like that and now here is my chance." Bren said very rushed as she grabbed the evidence bag and then rushed off saying "thanks Hodgins!"

"Um ok that was weird" Booth said momentarily stunned.

"You can say that again man. I wonder what up with Dr. Brennen?" Hodgins wondered out loud.

"I wish I knew" Booth said shaking his head.
